🔍 Key Concepts

• Speed governor behavior under changing engine load • Difference between how much a governor reacts vs. how fast it reacts • Common governor terms: deadband, sensitivity, promptness

💭 Think About

• When engine load suddenly increases, what specific aspect of the governor are we describing if we care about how quickly it brings speed back to the set point? • Which term refers more to the range where no correction occurs rather than the timing of the correction? • Which term refers to how small a speed change the governor can detect or respond to, rather than the rate at which it finishes that correction?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is specifically related to time/response speed of the correction. • Eliminate the term that describes the zone of no corrective action around the set speed. • Separate the term that means ability to detect small changes from the one that means how rapidly the correction is completed.
